Being the Real You in Relationships: Beautifully Refreshing, Real, and Safe

With the Sun moving through the constellation of Virgo and with Venus conjoining Saturn (western sidereal calculations), this is a great time to observe when we are making ourselves uptight or uncertain when around others. 


Most of us who were brought up in the power-over oriented western culture, which now spans much of the world, often carry about a big old unnerving fear about personal safety around other humans. The fear easily can get triggered in any social encounter. So often we try to pretend its not there because we think we might appear more ridiculous if we admitted it.

The fear for our well-being may grab us just prior to a job interview or before a review by a supervisor. Or maybe it will create a pit in our stomach when we think that we’re “running behind schedule,” as if some almighty judge was about to look down at us with condemning eyes and punish us for being late or for not having everything done on time. 


While the fear in some way served us in the past, it may no longer be serving our best interests anymore. It certainly is creating stress. 

From a very early age, we were taught by authority figures that we must live up to a picture of who or what others think we should be. They held up expectations of how we should think, feel, and act so that we can fit into the world they think is safe and normal. 


If we do not become who they believe we should be, we often were punished, humiliated, for criticized, or shunned. If we went along with their pictures, we got the praise and the smile and stamp of approval. 

The Sun and Saturn in our birth charts speak to being in our own driver’s seat when it comes to running our lives and interacting with others. Our Essences are our inner authorities, just as a wolf, elephant, or tiger take charge of their own daily agendas with confidence and keen awareness. They are alive, untamed, unregulated, and definitely not bored. 

Inside our true Selves, we know what really nourishes us. We have profound inner guidance to rely upon. Our Spirits are brimming over with unconditional love and kindness. We each have a purpose and we come alive when being purposeful in ways that are keeping with who we really are. 

By turning within and checking in with our hearts, senses, and unique intelligence, we readily choose how to respond to life and others from a place of honesty, which is so beautifully refreshing and real. No pretenses. This is our birthright and it makes us feel authentic and safe in relationship.

A World without Judgement

Imagine a world without judgement. No fears of being criticized, blamed, ostracized, or damned. No better thans or less thans. No killing of inspiration and tenderness. No one being more or less significant than another. 

A world of unconditional love. Everything and everyone considered as equals. Endless appreciation of the uniqueness and wondrousness in each life form. There would be no taking, but instead continuos giving and receiving. 

This is living from the heart, a balance within and with each other. This is the world of the indigenous people of Peru who lived and protected the ancient shamanic knowledge of Ka Ta See. They are a thriving people who have kept clear of the ways of judgment. 

Instead they live the sacred ways of total acceptance. These ways breed a freedom that invite each tribal member to be all of who she or he is and to explore life without the worries of being rejected or oppressed. 

As Uranus squares Pluto in the Sky, we are called to identify and easefully release any forms of condemning and criticizing whether it be judging ourselves, situations, or others. When you catch a judgement arise in your thoughts or feelings, thank it for showing you that it was there and let it go it into the Earth. She will take it and recycle it into something that helps life along. 

Stay with the process and allow all the damning to leave you and your body. As it leaves allow yourself to fill up with the breath and lightness of your Song, your Spirit's signature of aliveness, and enjoy the wonder of experiencing fresh perspectives.
